We live in a world that prizes education. But most people think of education only in terms of formal classes. When people graduate from high school or college, they usually think their education is 46 . But it is possible to continue learning after finishing school. And making the effort pays off personally and professionally.
On a personal level, learning can be fun. It can deepen your 47 by giving you something interesting to talk about. And it’s good for your brain. Hobbies that require thought can help you keep your mental abilities at your age. Just as exercise makes your muscles stronger, your mind becomes sharper when you use it.
Being a lifelong learner can also help your career. Becoming an expert in an area outside of your 48 job gives you freedom. It allows you to take a job another field if you want to. Also, knowledge in other areas can help you
So how do you become a lifelong learner? It starts with making a conscious 50 to do so. You need to be determined to keep making the effort to learn when it isn’t easy. It may help to find friends who will encourage your learning. It might also help to set aside specific items to study.
Try finding time to learn 51 your day. Carry a book with you, and read when you have to wait. Audiobooks and podcasts are also helpful 52 . You can listen to them while traveling or doing chores.
Finding ways to use what you learn can help you remember things. If you want to learn how to fix appliances, try fixing some at home. If you’re learning a foreign language, find someone who speaks that language to talk to. If you’re learning facts about 53 or science, explain what you’re le arning to someone else. Then you can help that person be a lifelong learner, too!

New research has found the longest living animal on Earth with a backbone is a shark.
The research, published in Science Magazine, found the Greenland shark is the longest living animal with a backbone in the world. The gray-colored sharks live in the cold water of the Arctic and are named after Greenland, the world’s largest island. After examining one of these sharks, scientists decided it was born in the icy water about 400 years ago and died out recently. An international team of biologists and physicists was able to estimate (估计) the ages of 28 dead female Greenland sharks by studying the lenses of their eyes. It is a new way to learn the age of an animal. Eight of the sharks were probably 200 years old or more, and could even have been 300 years old. That would make them
older than some whales, which earlier were believed to have been the oldest animals at about 211 years old, according to the Associated Press.
This discovery also means that Greenland sharks can live more than three times longer than humans. Many people these days can expect to live into their eighties. African elephants average about 70 years. The oldest of the Greenland sharks the scientists studied was nearly 5 meters long. It was thought to have been 392 years old when it was caught four years ago. However, because the testing method is so new, it is not exact.
The study’s lead author is Julius Nielsen, a marine biologist from Denmark. He says the 392 number could have an error range of 120 years in either direction. That means the shark was probably born sometime between the years 1500 and 1740, with 1620 being the most likely.
'It's an estimate. It's not a determination,' Nielsen said. 'It is the best we can do.'
Even at the lowest age, the shark would have been 272 years old when it died and still would be the longest-living animal with a backbone, Nielsen said.
'I don't know why they get as old, but I hope someone will find out,' Nielsen said.
69. According to Science Magazine, the Greenland shark ________.
A) is the longest living animal on earth B) rarely lives in the cold water of the Arctic
C) is an animal with a backbone D) still lives in the icy water now
70. A new way to learn the age of a female animal is _______.
A) to estimate it by a biologist B) to examine its skin
C) to study the lenses of its eyes D) to discover the place of its birth
71. The discovery means if people live into eighties, the shark might live into _______ years old.
A) almost 200 B) less than 211
C) over 320 D) at least 450
72. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A) The oldest of the Greenland sharks was nearly five meters long.
B) It can make sure that the oldest Greenland shark was 392 years old.
C) Julius Nielsen says the 392 number could have an error range of 120 years.
D) Julius Nielsen has tried to estimate the probable time the shark was born.
73. The author will probably write about ________ after the last paragraph.
A) the discovery of why sharks get so old B) the living habits of the sharks
C) the reasons why sharks disappeared D) the bad side of the sharks
74. The best title of the passage may probably be “________”.
A) A new way to study the sharks B) Caring for the sharks
C) Best Animal with a backbone on Earth D) Longest living animal with a backbone on Earth
B. Choose the best answer and complete the passage (选择最恰当的选项完成短⽂) (12分)
The Thanksgiving turkey is the cause of stress for me. I have 75 it as an enemy on Thanksgiving.
Over the years I had tried just every method of cooking the turkey. When I just got married I tried the
traditional pan roasting method. But I forgot to buy my turkey 76 the day before Thanksgiving. And I bought a big one because I wanted to be sure to have enough turkey for everyone. Unfortunately, it wasn’t thawed (解冻) by the time I needed to cook it. I ended up with a dry turkey overcooked on the outside and rarely done 77 . And I had lots and lots of leftover turkey because nobody liked it.
The following year I was busy with a baby. So again I forgot to buy my turkey in time to get it 78 thawed. I had to be up most of the night before Thanksgiving running cold water over my turkey to get it thawed. The turkey ended up turning out okey but I was so tired and sleepy by the time I served dinner.
The next year I got a method of cooking turkey from local radio in early November. I was 79 to give it a try. Making that turkey was like taking care of a baby for nearly two days. I was so pleased with that turkey. I thought it was going to be the best tasting turkey ever since it was the most 80 I ever put in making turkey. But that didn’t happen. Nobody liked the flavour of the turkey.
I decided not to make one this year. But my family thought it wasn't Thanksgiving without turkey. The Thanksgivi ng turkey has been a yearly joke at our house and when I don’t make one there is nothing to complain about.
75. A) visited B) considered C) heard D) told
76. A) before B) after C) until D) since
77. A) on the surface B) on the top C) at the bottom D) in the middle

I rely a lot on my phone to help me when I study in America. Here are some of the most useful apps I have used but never paid for!
Calendar
All phones come with an inbuilt calendar app. I’ve found myself using the app quite a lot recently. It is important to know your date when p 81 a weekend away. It is also comforting to check the app when I’m feeling homesick –it helps to remind me that I will be home soon, so I should make the most of my time a 82 .
Google Translate
It’s that moment when the word is on the tip of your tongue, but you just can’t r 83 it! Don’t worry; Google Translate can lend you a hand! Just make sure you double-check if you are translating longer texts, as the software does make some very humorous m 84 !
Gmail
Personally, I really like the Gmail app because it automatically puts emails, based on different items, into different categories. The important mail goes straight to my inbox (信箱), while l 85 important mail is put into other categories.
Headspace
After an exhausting day of work, I needed a way to help calm and focus my mind. This is how I found Headspace. Sign up for free to try some easy meditations (冥想) –they only take ten minutes. I’ve found them a great way to relax a 86 a stressful day. Trip Advisor
When exploring a new town, it’s good to know the best places to eat and the most interesting attractions to see. I always turn to Trip Advisor for information. Here, you can find hotels, restaurants and attractions which are l
87 together with other visitors’ ratings (等级) and comments. It makes it a lot easier to choose a good hotel.
D. Answer the questions (根据以下内容回答问题) (12分)
The story of the Mary Celeste is a very famous unsolved mystery. The story is about a sailing ship called the Mary Celeste and the strange disappearance of all the people on board the ship.
The ship sailed from New York on 7th November, 1872, for the port of Genoa in Italy. It was carrying a cargo (货物) of 1,700 barrels of American alcohol which was worth 35,000 dollars. There were 10 people on board the ship: the captain, Briggs, his wife, Sarah, their two-year-old daughter, and seven crewmen. Briggs had a good fame as a captain. He was also a religious man who did not drink alcohol.
The mystery begins on 15th November, 1872. The Mary Celeste was between the Azores and the coast of Portugal when it was seen by the captain of another ship, Captain Morehouse. Captain Morehouse was immediately worried because he could see that the Mary Celeste was out of control. He was also very surprised because he knew that Captain Briggs was a good sailor. There were no distress(求救) signals from the Mary Celeste and no reply when Morehouse tried to make contact, so he decided to take a small boat and climb on board the Mary Celeste. There was nobody on board!
There didn’t seem to be much wrong with the ship: it was not in danger of sinking, so there was no need for panic. However, the ship’s register and other paperwork were missing; the navigation instruments were missing; and everything on the ship, including the c aptain’s bed, was wet through. Another important fact is that there were no boats on board. And a strange fact is that when the cargo was finally unloaded in Genoa, nine barrels of alcohol were missing. Can we find an explanation which fits all the known facts?
Morehouse guessed that the crew must, for some reason, have thought that the boat was sinking and panicked. But why did they think it was sinking? It is possible that, as the cargo was alcohol, there might be an explosion which would cause everyone on board to panic. The crew might have climbed into the boat and tied the boat to the main ship while they checked if the ship really was sinking. Perhaps a storm broke the rope and left them all in a small boat on stormy seas.
It seems that 92 now, but I am sure that people will keep thinking of possible solutions, and the only limit to these solutions will be the human imagination!
88. Which place did the Mary Celeste leave for?
89. What do you know about Briggs besides having a family of three people?
90. How did Morehouse feel when he saw the Mary Celeste was out of control?
91. Why did Morehouse guess that the crew panicked at that time?
92. What can be filled in the blank in the last paragraph?
93. Where do you think all the people on the ship might go? Show your possible reason(s)!

Last summer I went through a training program and worked as a volunteer teaching people how to read. My first student Mary was a 44-year-old single mother of three children. In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn’t know which bus to take. When I told her I would give her a bus schedule, she told me it would not help because she could not read it. Since she did not know words, she could not write out a shopping list. Instead, she only recognized items by sight. During the training, I tried to help learn how to build her confidence, which encouraged her to continue in her studies. She began to make great progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip, she told me how self-confident she felt. At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son with his reading. She sat with him before he went to bed and read bedtime stories. When his eyes became wide with excitement as she read, pride was written all over her face. As she described this experience, I was proud of myself as well. I found that helping Mary to build her self-confidence was very rewarding. I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others and I may have learned more from the experience than Mary did.

Hello, everyone. Welcome to Alpha High for the exchange program. Here you can take part in some school activities. Now I want to tell you something about the clubs in our school.
Let’s begin with our reading club. It started in 2010 and it has about 90 members now. Every Thursday afternoon, the members gather together to share their opinions on books. If you are a bookworm, the reading club is right waiting for you!
If you are a music lover, come to our music club. This club has a total of 85 members who usually meet on
Saturday. Sometimes they go to the concerts together and sometimes they put on performances themselves.
For those who enjoy outdoor sports, the bicycle club can be a good choice. Trips and bicycle races are usually organized on Wednesday and last at least two hours. Together with 50 cyclists, you can not only see the beautiful nature, but also make yourself stronger.
The last club I would like to introduce is the environment protection club. The club was set up in 2008 and the aim of the club is to make our life greener. So every member of this club is supposed to take some action to protect our environment. In the club, you can plant trees on the farm not far from our school. It will tell you how to recycle the things around you, such as paper, water bottles, beer cans and so on.
